New campaign chapters
18 new levels in three chapters - each chapter unlocks on its own (the first two levels are open, every completed level opens the next one).
- 3. Climb & Descent - plan climbs and descents through traffic. New: assign a vertical rate (R in line 4 of the label), and an aircraft that declares an emergency (squawk 7700) and descends on its own.
- 4. Sequencing - merge streams and leave them evenly spaced: speed control, path stretching, overtaking on other levels and wake turbulence spacing behind heavy aircraft.
- 5. Military & Weather - the airspace changes while you work: TSAs that switch on after a countdown (some only above a level), growing and drifting thunderstorms and a wind shift.
Daily Challenge
- One Open Sector challenge per day (UTC) - the same map, settings and starting traffic for everyone, 20 minutes of game time.
- Only your first attempt counts for the daily ranking; later runs are practice.
- New Daily tab in Rankings (in the game and on the website).
Random events in Open Sector
- New Events (x1.2) switch on the toolbar: thunderstorm cells on airways, military areas announced 3 minutes ahead and emergencies (7700).
- Points x1.2, +150 for every event handled cleanly, -100 for each aircraft flown into a storm or an active TSA.
New beta map: Warszawa FIR (EPWW) - full
- The whole real Polish FIR at full size from the AIP: real FRA points, VORs, airways and 15 airports.
- All routes now follow drawn airways. Marked BETA - feedback welcome!
Campaign changes and fixes
- Level names are now chapter-level everywhere (1-1 ... 5-6).
- 2-2: headings locked - Direct-To along the route only.
- 2-4: all aircraft on FL100.
- 2-5: an assumed aircraft is yours (green) right away, even before it enters the sector, and calls in immediately after ASSUME.
Radio and interface
- Better phraseology: LOT is now just "LOT", whole hundreds read as "flight level one hundred", altitudes below FL080 as "altitude three thousand feet".
- Warning in the Radio menu when no English voice is installed on your computer (with the Windows steps to add one).
- Toolbar dropdowns (Radio, Layers, Brightness) close when you click outside them.
New Steam achievements for all new levels and for the Daily Challenge. Thanks for all the feedback in the discussions - keep it coming!
